THE ARTIST.

Stefanie Verhoef is an artist and contemporary jewellery designer from Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

She makes contemporary jewellery with a conceptual character. Her designs are defined by a rough edged yet delicate aesthetic.

​

She was trained as a goldsmith during a technical education in Amsterdam.

After this she studied Fine Arts and Education. She holds a Bachelor in Fine Arts & in Education.

Throughout her art studies, jewellery and design always played a big role. Being trained as a goldsmith, a fine arts artist and an art teacher, she learned many ways of creating and expressing.

Designing and making jewellery has always been the core and working within the contemporary and conceptual field is where she feels most comfortable.

Every single piece is created by hand by myself. From idea to concept to craft to jewel.

In my work I'm always looking for original and innovative contrasts. It’s an overarching theme in the diverse collections and I would almost call it an obsessive urge. By looking for unusual opposites and placing them together, both interacting elements can fully show their potential.

Contrasting is a way for me to find balance in a design and I find balanced asymmetry calming and satisfying. The contrasts can be found in unconventional stone setting, use of color, material or in the shape itself. All balanced together it defines my aesthetic; rough edged yet surprisingly delicate pieces. 

Each collection tells a story of personal observations or fascinations.

Stories are endless and so are most of my collections; the designs keep developing and thus a collection is never really finished. The mind keeps designing.

I create unique one of a kind pieces as well as limited and unlimited editions.

Have a look in the online shop for available pieces. Custom is also possible.
